BEYOND THE GLITZ OF PHL SHOWBIZ'S BIGGEST HALLOWEEN PARTY

If no one is going to do it, rest assured Alist celebrity and event expert Mond Gutierrez will be the trailblazer who would step in to create a platform for personalities to inspire and be inspired to express themselves in one of the most enjoyable occasions of the year — Halloween.

Mond, with the help of his event specialist friend Ashleigh Rye,

started the Opulence Ball back in 2019. It stopped during the lockdowns but it made its grand return last year with the likes of the most elusive stars like Piolo Pascual gracing such a big festivity as a guest.

This year, Mond focused on the glam of the ‘70s party scene, which brought in another curated list of A-listers from different decades in showbiz.

We saw Ruffa Mae Quinto partying the night away in her vavavooom red Booba era coded see-through dress, Ruffa Gutierrez in a Cher inspired look, Richard Gutierrez’s 70s Elvis cowboy ensemble and so much more.

We spoke to Mond on why he continues this vision for the Manila scene and entertainment. He said, “We really wanted to create an avenue to push for more creativity in the industry.”
